Are you happy that the actual connections are tight? If a bit loose, there might be enough to power the fuel pump, but not the starter.
Does it still start with the spare battery? I'd be surprised if the starter/solenoid packed up at the same time you changed the battery, I'd be more inclined to start by back tracking on what had been touched since it last started.
You could try disconnecting the earth terminal for about 5 secs, then reconnecting, in case an immobiliser issue, but that would seem unlikely as the pump primes.
